9-16-2018 Newshound Guru Bloodloch Once it begins (and it will become crystal clear what that "it" means when "it" happens), the velocity of money comes into play and, unless artificially restricted, I would not be surprised to see something quick, like a two month rise in the foreign exchange rate of the dinar to equal one dollar (the equilibrium point) assuming the change is unrestrictive and the Iraqis are left to their usual activities of working and selling and earning and banking and spending. It could take longer if they (the CBI) restrict the natural rate of growth although I'm not sure why exactly they would do that since the Project is a zero-sum purchasing power game from start to finish....(post 1 of 2....see following)... 9-16-2018 Newshound Guru Bloodloch In fact, I would think that the faster they finish (reach the equilibrium point) the sooner the Iraqi people can start to gain the benefits of an expanding economy and enjoy some serious increases in real purchasing power. At that point, the newly equalized exchange rate, as well as in-country purchasing power, should begin to climb in general unison over time. So what is this trigger event? It's not so much the what, as the how. And beyond that, I won't elaborate. No sense in stirring the pot right as the chef is about to announce that it's soup. We should all recognize it, as plain as the noses on our faces, when we see it....(post 2 of 2).. 9-16-2018 Newshound Guru David M. Witty In Iraqi election news, Sairoon & Building coalitions agree on Adil Abdul-Mahdi as next PM. 9-16-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni As reported, if Adil Abdul-Mahdi is the next PM this is excellent news! 9-16-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni [Is there any word on when that process will start?] Only an educated guess can be made based on the urgency to maintain compliance, encourage investment and begin rebuilding putting people back to work. We also know they cannot begin until the formation of the new government. 9-16-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 I PROMISED TO GO SILENT...BUT IFORGOT TO MENTION ...I DON'T CARE WHO THE PM IS ...ABADI... MAHADI... GANDHI …LOL... 9-16-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni‏ Apparently Adil Abdul-Mahdi withdraws his nomination to be PM. [reference Kaperoni and David M. Witty posts 9-16-2018] 9-16-2018 Newshound Guru Kirk H. Sowell So it is now officially over for Iraqi Prime Minister Hayder al-Abadi's reelection. This press conference last night was a concession speech in every sense. His reelection effort is over... this was the end of his effort to obtain a second term. Next, MPs have just now elected Muhammad al-Halbusi, currently Anbar governor, as the next speaker of parliament. This is breaking news. He belong's to Jamal al-Karbuli's al-Hal party.

As of 7:25 PM EDT 9-15-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni …If your expecting some overnight event your mistaken. There are many experts that predict the dinar could take 6 months to a year to rise to a level equal with a dollar once they begin to float. Keep in mind it will be directly related to how fast foreign capital comes into the country through the cbi's capital account… 9-15-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat WOW! Mid Sept. already and still we wait for the formation of the new government. Didn’t I tell everyone that if they met a benchmark of July and did not form this government by then that they would stretch it out until September but I do not believe it will go beyond Sept. So once the new house speaker and president and deputies are elected then the next hurdle is to get the new nominee for the prime minister announced and voted on...(post 1 of 2....see following)... 9-15-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Okay so once the prime minister is elected, they will have until mid Oct to get the reinstatement done. If they decide not to do it we may as well relax because we are waiting until EARLY 2019. I am telling you this now because I have knowledge of target dates already to get this done. I have a direct source in the CBI and we completed a recent long conversation over this issue of timing for the reinstatement. Again they reinforced to me that when we see the re-education process begin about the new smaller categories, this will be our signal they are going forward. If we don’t see it then we are in the window of 2019...(post 2 of 2)....

9-14-2018 Intel Guru Bruce ...you know that I have told you we are very close...close for awhile...there are things that are happening to move this thing along to get us over the finish line...I have heard a lot of things pointing toward great result for us by Saturday afternoon. Maybe tomorrow [Friday]. ...I feel really good about what is being accomplished, where everything is in terms of the processes. We know for example...the QFS final procedures and protocols were being run through globally all around the world... So that tells us that everything is pretty much lined out and ready to start...{post 1 of 2....stay tuned - more to come later today..posted as a reply..!} 9-14-2018 Newshound Guru Kirk H. Sowell Abadi's prospects have been dimming ever since the disappointing election result in May, and whatever chances he still had last week were gone after his government appeared to be in total shambles in front of parliament & then Sadrists withdrew support. This is the formal end. 9-14-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni "Breaking: While PM Haider Al-Abadi gave (Apparently) farewell speech to his office, Moqtada Sadr announced an agreement to nomination "independent & technocrats” candidates for the new #Iraqi Prime Minister position" Does not look like current PM Abadi will be nominated for another term. 9-14-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 [via Sunkissed] Article quote: “We welcome the existence of any cooperation between us and neighboring countries in the field of local currencies” ...in our opinion, the lower denoms with a Specimen mark on them are leaving the borders of Iraq...in our opinion, we see the physical lower denom, marked Specimen, from the East to the West in many banks...why is it being sent to banks Frank? Because this is the currency that will be used in buying and selling and trading on a Global scale. The small notes are going to stay INSIDE the country, because there will be a rate change; along with the coins. And those belong to the citizens. They do not belong to the Global Market. ..(..post 1 of 2....stay tuned )...... 9-14-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 ...Look what Abadi says...the dinar, that is marked Specimen, is leaving Iraq. And Abadi is telling all of these neighboring countries, we’re cool with your currency, if you’re cool with ours. ...Abadi says the following: “I will not insist on a specific site and insist to serve the country. We welcome the existence of any cooperation between us and neighboring countries in the field of local currencies, and we do not want global domination that controls the economies of countries" Now what does that mean? Yes we’re going to swap. And yes, we’re sending our currency out to you. And yes, we’re going through a reinstatement of our currency. We can send you our currency. It’s about to be globally recognized. It’s about to enter Article 8. We’re going to introduce our lower denominations too. We’re not going to have just one controlling currency anymore, like the American dollar. No more...This is as obvious as it gets. ..{post 2 of 2..}..

Hi Everyone - I'm posting these Guru posts just to keep everyone informed with what some others are saying about what is occurring with Iraq and the possible RV/RI of the IQD on various Dinar websites. No one knows exactly what will happen or when - these are simply opinions about what is happening based on news & media articles from the CBI & GOI and events in Iraq. RON 9-11-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Walkingstick [via Clare] 1) Seating of Government with largest block, no way Iran or corruption can interfere. Sadar & Abadi...Full Control... 2) Initiation of HCL...rate doesn't matter... just the fact that it's in position... 3) ISX & ESX are positioned internationally...IMF has things in place to prevent a run on ISX @ PR...the pairing of the 127 countries caused international movement & was successful... Every Central Bank that saw the pairing KNOWS what it means! 4) Leaving of Specimen marked LD's... international movement of their currency (left boarders of Iraq, showing up...Thailand & all over the planet, East to West)... 9-11-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 [via Clare] POTUS, Demanding Now: 1) HCL -which has to have seated Gov. (to get HCL) 2) RI of IQD. BIS getting ready to announce change in IQD Rate... CBI & BIS, will both do same action at same time... 90% of all money in foreign banks put there illegally...all coming back...all assets...Economic reform that depends on RI will Explode...Reasons of RI: 1) To be International/ Art 8/ trade with own currency... 2) To give Citizens more Purchasing Power 3) To run GOI with International Confidence...take their currency seriously... they continue to collect the worn notes & LD's ....replace with small notes & coins...RI MUST NOT FAIL. 9-11-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 Importance of GOI to pass HCL to succeed with the Citizens who will automatically get opened bank accounts... for all Iraq's Citizens from 16 and up... paid electronically according to National Oil Law...inside & outside Iraq...Brilliant USA!!! Game On! POTUS & Abadi are meeting Sept. 13th in Washington (something's on T's desk)...& 25th @ UN...ALL IN POSITION: GOI...ISX...SPECIMENS...HCL...IMO. 9-11-2018 Newshound Guru David M. Witty In Iraqi election news, main religious authority Sistani issues statement on next PM. Says he does not support any politicians who have been in power in previous years as people will not have hope they can improve situation in Iraq. 9-11-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "CENTRAL BANK OF IRAQ INTENDS NEXT MONTH, TO PUT LARGE AMOUNTS OF LOCAL CURRENCY, SMALL GROUPS" So what does this article mean to us? Is this the “project to delete the zeros? Well kind of...It is the very first stages of it but this is not new news. These are just replacements notes of the ones already issued. ...It is NOT what we would expect as the next move since these notes are the smaller categories they keep talking about such as the 250, and 500 dinar notes...This is just replacement of these notes... 9-11-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat What we want are the real lower category notes such as the 100, 50 and 25 and coins. We know that these lower category notes are to be slowly launched, as needed. How long will it take? We don’t know and I don’t think Iraq even knows. Yes, it a good sign they are NOT going backwards and issuing more 25k, 10k and 5k notes. ...Now having said all this can the CBI slip in a couple of the newer lower category notes NOT yet launched and thus come out with a new rate much higher than it is today? Yes, yes, yes and this is VERY possible too. But it does not say this directly and list them out so we don’t know for sure. Let’s just wait it out and see. This might get interesting... 9-11-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan BISX~ What a heck of a time to become like the big boyz...? Today this came out for the BISX investors that have present accounts. They have/are upgrading the system.. This notification to investors speaks that they are going to go live electronically, whereas, today it is an antiquated system that needs parchment and quill, so to speak. ...Now keep in mind this came out today and it came from a friend that has an account whom I verified it personally with who explained how it works today. Well this shows that is about to change. It comes out the day before a holiday [9-11-2018, Islamic New Year]. Fascinating... oh ya.

9-10-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru BGG Article: "The Central (Bank) poses large amounts of small currency" Quote: "The Central Bank of Iraq intends next month, to put large amounts of local currency, small groups, while continuing to receive the currency damaged by citizens and replace it (with) New." First bit of really good news in a while!! 9-10-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat September 15th is just around the corner and we know this is a target date to get this largest bloc issue settled so they can move ahead again in forming the government. Iraq is experiencing a political struggle to form the largest bloc between an alliance led by "Nuri al-Maliki - Hadi al-Ameri" and the name of the news and supported by Iran in the face of the coalition, "reconstruction and reform," led by Moqtada al-Sadr - Haider Abadi. The leader of the coalition of victory and Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, supported by the United States of America, so in light of the resolve of the Shiite and Sunni forces, their position of the largest bloc has become the decision of the Kurds in ending the controversy of the largest bloc and the weight of Iran or America to the post of prime minister of Iraq. 9-10-2018 Newshound Guru Bobby ...as far as adding value to the IQD? ...I'm seeing a lot of talk about this very important subject that is dear to all of us...If you fail to read the news about what Iraq is telling us outside of the political mouthpieces, you will always think "just add value and everything will be ok" That thought will get you nowhere... If Iraq were to put the IQD on the Forex market right now, they could neither support and sustain a value of 1190, or on a 1:1 par with the USD... PERIOD. Now some may say well Vietnam does it at what 20,000 to 1? Apples and oranges my friends. Just like comparing currency values thru trade and bilateral agreements have zero to do with a currency's value between country's...Iraq would go belly up if they even tried to put the IQD on the Forex market at this point. Why do I say that..?...(1 of 3)... 9-10-2018 Newshound Guru Bobby Because they have NO economy aside from oil. We saw...an article ...that gave us numbers still in the upper 80's as far as oil dependent revenue. Once those numbers get to a much better ratio of let's say 60/40, we may have a chance...I throw those numbers out there because I have read the IMF SBA's, the National Development Plan, the Reconstruction and Investment Plan and International Institutional studies on Iraq's economy. It really is that simple. My suggestion ...let Iraq form it's GOI, hopefully an inclusive one, and then we watch what direction they will go....(2 of 3)... 9-10-2018 Newshound Guru Bobby The people of Iraq are speaking and they are speaking with a voice of reason. They, just like us, are tired of the status quo and that right there is our hope. We have 1 somewhat stable stability and that's the CBI, which still has some work to do towards financial inclusion. If Iraq gets it's act together politically and starts supporting in full The National Development Plan, that's when you should start getting excited...(3 of 3)... 9-10-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Article: "Central reserves amounted to $59 billion and 96 tons went gold" This article is full of Bragging Rights...to show where they are. Their bag of goodies is full. This year alone they increased their reserves somewhere in the tune of 10 billion Dollars, additional bonds from China and Islamic Banks and 6.5 additional Tonnes of Gold. They talk of contracts with Ernst & Young. Bragging about being the first in the region with SWIFT and that the are internationally compliant. Compliant with international remittances... Well they will need to pay the citizens abroad the HCL( Think Somo [State Organization for Marketing of Oil] ) by such means now won't they? Yep...All in time... imo. 9-10-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 A BANK SOURCE THINKS WE WILL BE EXCHANGING ON MONDAY, B BANK SOURCE SAYS THEY HAVE NOT HEARD THAT...TIME WILL TELL. THE NEWLY ANNOUNCED E-CARD BY THE CBI "SUPPOSEDLY" WILL HAVE A NEW RATE - TIME WILL TELL.

This information was taken from another Dinar information site. It's useful in that it shows points we should be looking for in the News. List of Possible Major " To Do's " Before An IQD Value Increase (RI or RV): Moved to IMF Article VIII HCL passed/imp. [Temp 11/2014] [agreed in spirit 12-2014] Erbil Agreement Impl.

9-9-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...there are three main issues yet to resolve prior to the RV. 1. HCL - So the HCL law was finally written to satisfaction and passed. There were many parts to it over the years. Now they must pay out a % excess oil revenues to the citizens (a law was passed in parliament...supposed to begin as of Sept 5th). Do they need to pay out prior to the reinstatement permission. YES, YES and YES again. Is this not a constitutional requirement? Well then...??? ; [1 of 3] .... 9-9-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat 2. Iraq must now get rid of the Iranian militias and drastically reduce the political influence of the Iran over Iraq, This is a new requirement and should never had been an issue had it not been for the ISIS invasion, which by the way was a way for the Iranian backed puppet Nori al-Maliki to get the Iranian Kud forces inside Iraq...This now stands as a major SECURITY breach by the US on the sovereignty of Iraq. The US will NEVER giver permission to RV with these Iranian forces in place in Iraq especially with the Trump administration; [post 2 of 3....stay tuned].. 9-9-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat 3. Article 140 - this was promised by PM Abadi during the last election of 2014. It was also promised during the 2010 election by Nori al-Maliki and neither delivered on it. This was of course a major blunder on the part of PM Abadi 2014-2018 for, if he did deliver, there would be no further discussions and the Kurds would side with the Sadr Movement as they could then feel they could trust and move forward. So...all three of these needed points are not yet implemented or guaranteed.[3 of 3] ... 9-9-2018 Newshound Guru Currency365 Abadi would not have to ask trump for an emergency government if he had listen the first time to Trump...TURN ON YOUR CURRENCY, RELEASE YOUR SMALL NOTES, ADD PURCHASING POWER, AND RELEASE THE OIL REVENUES TO THE CITIZENS, OPEN ALL BUDGETS SINCE 2007, ACTIVATE ALL LAWS..!!! 9-9-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 Article: "A "meeting" is expected between "Abadi and Trump" on the 13th of this month" IMO...THERE IS SOMETHING ON TRUMPS DESK ... 9-9-2018 Intel Guru Jester [any news to share?] NOT ANYTHING CONCRETE THAT MAKES ANY SENSE... ALTHOUGH THE UNOFFICIAL WORD SEEMS TO INDICATE VERY CLOSE... BUT WE HAVE ALL HEARD THAT BEFORE TOO...I WAS SURPRISED THEY TOLD ME THAT TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH... BUT I AM CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC... HEARD IT TOO MANY TIMES BEFORE... I NEED TO SEE SOMETHING MOVE.... 9-9-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Everyone...may have noticed on the BIS website that they quit reporting the Program Rate for the QRTR 1/2018 and QRTR 2/2018...A fresh pattern that shouldn't be overlooked, imo. ...also...they recently paid the COM (Council of Ministers) back pay to 01/01/2018 electronically, and it was mentioned specifically to and with the Kurds in mind that they don't have to tell you any more going forward. It is to be a private matter between the citizens and the banks... Why? One might ask why would they the (BIS) quit reporting the program rate when the track record through QRTR 4/2017 was? Do you think the BIS the granddad of all banks is going to put out data that effectively would be misleading? [1 of 2] ... 9-9-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan I personally think not, therefore, the lack of reporting it on the site points to that they wouldn't do that to be misleading. They are not going to publish the program rate, as they have something else in mind imo... We have heard ...they will back date the HCL to a similar time frame of 01/01/2018. We have also been told by WS [Guru Walkingstick] and articles they finished the calculations based off months prior to the End of the 1st Quarter 2018, and they agreed on the HCL in early March 2018, and now 6 months have passed real close and we see them hammering out the Seating of the GOI with the URGING of Al Sistani, The Supreme Shiite Cleric. All very interesting... [2 of 2] ... 9-9-2018 Newshound Guru Don961 A "meeting" is expected between "Abadi and Trump" on the 13th of this month. Article quotes: "Informed sources revealed that Prime Minister Haider Abadi will meet with US President Donald Trump on the 13th of this month." "The source said that "Abadi and Tramb, will gather a meeting, on the 13th of this month, to form a government, after the failure of efforts, to form the largest bloc," adding that "Abadi will meet with senior officials in Washington."

9-7-2018 Newshound Guru Kathy I know the Kurds are kind of a stumbling block but in the end I cannot see them joining Maliki’s group! They had enough interaction to know Maliki signing any kind of document is totally worthless! Maliki never keeps his word and Ameri is simply an Iranian puppet along with Maliki! What would be the result if the Kurds decided not to join either block? I cannot imagine that would be to their advantage! I think things are going to get real interesting in the near future! 9-7-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana [Can the Monetary Reform happen before the SBA 2016 agreement with the IMF?...Will the CBI be able to act alone and start the Reform without the IMF's Approval?] In a perfect scenario, the IMF gives the green light, CBI implements the "approved" changes, RV. Let's be real, though... if the CBI wants to go ahead with it, then they will, and what is the IMF going to do - tell them "no, you can't pay X for your Dinar"?? I don't think so...And if the IMF DID do something like that, can you imagine how many institutions around the world would completely REVOLT against the IMF?! It would be absolute chaos! (part 1 of 2) 9-7-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana ...With that said, I completely reject the idea that the IMF "must" do anything at all to enable, allow, or even encourage Iraq/CBI/GOI/etc to do anything with their currency. They will do what they want, when they want it. Chapter 7 was a big deal. That prohibited them, via the United Nations and more, from making any major changes. Chapter 7 was the ONLY sanction that completely restricted them from RVing, in my opinion. There are other items that needed to be handled in order to make it easier, but even now - without HCL in place - they could still do it today. It's my opinion that it is not likely to happen before the HCL is in place, but they COULD. (2 of 2) 9-7-2018 Intel Guru Bruce ...it looks like everything is coming together at the last moment, and it is getting down to the wire. We have Iraq still doing their thing. Messing around with their government. Talking about running more stuff through parliament again. ...They are talking about releasing the...Oil and Gas Law...Talking about releasing that in the Gazette on Saturday...What does that mean for our timing? That could trigger what it is we are all waiting for...I have heard people talk about a 5 day window. The window could be literally hours away to a couple of days or maybe it drags out through the weekend. I really believe that. ...I think we are at a really good shape. 9-7-2018 Intel Guru Footforward I still believe and expect the RV to happen. What's been going on hasn't changed my mind. This will come to be... 9-7-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Quote: "The Iraqi National Card is an electronic biometric card issued by the Ministry of Interior from January 1, 2016. It replaced the Nationality Certificate and Civil Identification Document previously issued. In 2018 it will also replace the Residency Card). This card has a high security platform and is connected directly to the Iraqi Civil System" Now I am not sure how many realize just how big this is? It is telling us they are on the 09/05/2018 ready to "LAUNCH" the E-Regulations a form of many forms that are about E-Governance. That includes E-Banking...It will include Citizens, Employees, Businesses, Countries, Constituencies, Democracy, payments, receivables, etc., etc. (1 of 2) 9-7-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan ...WS [Guru Walkingstick] posted that the COM was paid electronically, and back pay to 01/01/2018. The same was said to have happened for the HCL for the citizens ...we await them to tell us it is fully active. ...The question is, will they leak out the payments of back pay for the Citizens for the HCL? Imo Oh heck yes.. When they do, it will go public by the CBI, GOC or just plain old leakage. Now keep in mind that Sadr has spoken out about the GOI not fulfilling their responsibilities.In fact imo he is saying have them done before Sunday. Start your meetings ASAP, and by the way they are going to be live on camera. Therefore, all the citizens that know your sandbagging and they are not getting paid their do, will be able to watch who is sandbagging them...imo....(2 of2). 9-7-2018 Newshound Guru chattels Much of the recent news highlights the question of whether the rule of law or the rule of men, and which men will it be, is or will be in control in Iraq. These are dangerous times in Iraq. Iraq seems continually to jump from the frying pan into the fire and back again, IMO. It appears that my sense of optimism about the avoidance of quotas and the announcement of a government sooner rather than later in this election cycle was misplaced. The Machiavellian Maliki is very resourceful politically and we should never underestimate him or the capacity of Iraq for self destruction...

9-8-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Article: "Asadi: Current crises end by providing the necessary funds" Quote: "It is also possible to solve some problems by taking advantage of the current financial abundance due to high oil prices," An MP talking about using the 2018 budget to solve problems...Tamimi suggests that anyone saying Iraq has a financial crisis is a liar... Well well, they are now getting on the band wagon.. Imo we will now see more of that, as they’ll want to be on the side of get us our money now... Read HCL... The statement from Sadr he would film the extraordinary session must have worked!! The MPs that hinder the money being electronically given to the people of Iraq now will suffer political consequences and possibly more, especially if they are exposed as Iranian supporters of interference... 9-8-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 Cleric Sadr called for an emergency meeting for all Parliament members on Saturday to discuss the Basra situation and other matters. He warned that any member not in attendance would be held accountable. The Kurds did not attend the Parliament meeting claiming constitutional concerns. Sadr publicly trashes them on Iraqi TV for not participating in that important session. Iraqi President announces plans for tomorrow's meeting to include naming a new president and a new speaker...hopefully with the attendance of the Kurds. Sadr's comments on TV did not receive a positive reception. [Gee, I wonder why?] lol. A new program and a new national E-Card for citizens was being shared on Iraqi TV by Alaq. 9-8-2018 Intel/Newshound Guru Poppy3 BEEN HERE GOING ON 16 YEARS AND BELIEVE ME OUR GREAT PRESIDENT TRUMP IS PUSHING EVERY BUTTON POSSIBLE TO HELP BRING ABOUT THE DINAR RATE CHANGE. HE IS DOUBLING DOWN AGAINST IRAN AND KNOWS IRAQ WILL DOMINATE THE MIDDLE EAST IN THE FUTURE. RELAX RICH FRIENDS THE RATE IS COMING IN DUE TIME WE WILL BE READY TO CELEBRATE. 9-8-2018 Newshound Guru David M. Witty In Basra Province, Iraq, Basra Operations Command imposes curfew after another evening of major destruction. (In reality, curfew appears impossible to implement). Iraqi Parliament convenes. Heated exchange between PM & Governor of Basra Province. Iraqi Parliament has turned into a shouting match with calls for government to resign. Acting Parliament President having a tough time controlling it. 9-8-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...there is no indication as to how far they must go on this topic of corruption. This is one of the unknowns. But anyone with any common sense can clearly see that at least the GOI and Judiciary must help the CBI clean up this currency auction fraud and manipulation by arresting these individuals who run these phony banks. This recent switch from Us dollars to Euros for trade with Iran will be stopped shortly. This was a mistake by Iraq to do so. But there has to be a solution as Iraq needs the imports to survive and grow its economy. All we can do is sit, wait and watch it all play out. To me what makes the most sense is to reinstate the dinar and thus trade with the dinar. Some say they are using the dinar already in trade with the 1190 rate. This was of course not permissible under sanctions, but the sanctions are relieved and so why has the CBI not yet reinstated the currency? Clearly there is something behind the scenes blocking the reinstatement. Posts above are as of 6:44 PM EDT...! Blessings.... RON

9-6-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana While the GOI formation is dragging on, Abadi continues to be a positive factor. No matter who is “named” the next President, I think he will continue to be a driving force in the next phases of Iraq’s development and return to their former status. Make no mistake about this - Iraq suffered a huge setback with Saddam. They have had a long road to make it this far, and the next steps for them should be pretty apparent to anyone that isn’t a complete pessimist. 9-6-2018 Newshound Guru Bloodloch The largest bloc is now called the Reform and Reconstruction Bloc. That bloc contains reportedly 180 members at least, which is enough to achieve the 165 seat threshold for a quorum if they all show up. However, due to the Iraqi Federal Court not yet declaring Reform and Reconstruction as the largest bloc, and lacking the support of the two large Kurdish blocs, they are left with a very thin, 16-seat margin of error to gain a quorum. The clerical leader of Total Reform, Moqtada al-Sadr, has called for an emergency session of parliament between now and this coming Sunday (Sept 9th) for the election of deputies. .. 9-6-2018 Newshound Guru Bloodloch ...Should the quorum not be reached by al-Sadr's Sunday deadline, he is calling on a one-million citizen demonstration to press the issue. In addition, the current Prime Minister Abadi is promising Anbar's leaders their very own Sunni Army if they stand strong in parliamentary support of the Reform and Reconstruction Bloc. Pretty exciting stuff, eh? Let's see what happens between now and Sunday the 9th. .. 9-6-2018 Newshound Guru chattels Article: "Sadr calls for new parliament to convene quickly on Basra" Quote: "We see the disregard by some politicians for what is happening in that troubled province, as they are preoccupied with forming [the largest bloc] that will only be like previous governments and alliances that characterized sectarianism, corruption and injustice." Maliki was quoted yesterday as saying that a "fix" for Basra was readily available.

To get the largest bloc they must include the Kurds.

The world runs on that stuff, Iraq has a ton of it, which means they have intrinsic value that cannot be denied. The CBI has announced that they are also adding to their “other” Gold, to the tune of an additional 6.5 tons. I’ll save you the trouble of doing the math… 6.5 tons = 208,000 ounces. Gold is about $1200 per ounce right now, so that’s a value of $249,600,000. (Obviously a little less due to wholesale value, but it’s a lot of money!) Not too shabby of a report for the day, and it shows increasing strength. Good stuff..! That's all for today.....stay happy..! RON

Well folks, here's the latest from around Dinar Land.... 9-5-2018 Newshound Guru Whitelions ...Don't worry about people falling all over each other trying to get to the banks...less than 1 % of the worlds population holds Dinar outside Iraq except for banks [themselves]... 9-5-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 A long day of ups and downs but banks say we are back on track... 9-5-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat We finally see that Iraq is forced to hold the first session but only because of a constitutional requirement. Will they delay it further and can they do so legally now that this first session is held and some of the new MPs are sworn in. Oh – but not all the new MPs are sworn in. They are still missing many from the Kurdistan region and it will be hard to get a quorum without them... 9-5-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana Iraq is still plodding through the formation of the new Government. Watching the GOI work could be described as similar to watching grass grow, although with the rain I’m getting right now… I think my lawn would win that race! Something to keep in mind, and this is a good thing - as slow as things seem to be moving, Iraq in general has made light years of progress compared to where they were a decade ago. Their processes are greatly improved. The debates are much more structured, not confused and uncertain as they were 5 or 10 years ago. There is an end in sight, so my point here is simple… don’t lose hope, be patient, and let things happen... 9-5-2018 Intel Guru Bruce Even though this is much bigger than Iraqi dinar we still have a situation right now where every bank in the world is on pins and needles waiting for the CBI to do their thing which should be to change the rate on the CBI to a reinstated and revalued rate for the Iraqi dinar. The word is once that happens everything is going to tumble like an avalanche for us. So we have every bank in the world it was put this way by someone high up, is just waiting for that to occur. ...we heard at 1105 am this morning EST [Tuesday] all the bank rates on all screens came off. In other words, all the currencies came off the screens at the same time. ...I do know that once the dinar comes back up as a rate that equivalent to the rate on the CBI, we should be good to go. ... 9-5-2018 Intel Guru Bruce Communication from all banks has stopped. ...That is one thing I think is ultimately a good sign, and we do know that the Quantum Financial System was completely hooked up and linked to every bank and central bank and Federal Reserve Bank it needed to be hooked up to. ...We know that President Trump has taken let’s call it firsthand charge of the roll out and initiating what needs to happen with the revaluation... ...I feel that what I have heard was the possibility going at a certain time and I feel that time is close approaching. ...My sources are indicating the Joe Public starts date is going to be September 15, 16, 17 or 18 of this month.

From Late Yesterday: 9-3-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni Abadi addressed the new parliament today stating clearly the next government is responsible for economic reforms. It will take 2-3 months to get new GOI in place. Its coming. 9-3-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru BGG Article: "Baghdad, al Sadr populists and premier Abadi allies form new government" Quote: "Sixteen Iraqi political movements and parties, including the populist list of radical Shiite leader Moqtada al-Sadr – winner of last May’s election – and the faction of outgoing prime minister Haider al-Abadi, will give life to the most important parliamentary block. The agreement, reached late yesterday evening, will guarantee its signatories the possibility to start work on the formation of the new government." Wow – I was suspicious this might happen. While Barzani was crowing about being closer to Maliki, Sadr and Abadi did it without them. 177 deputies and no mention of the Kurds. Now, something to watch is these upcoming KRG (regional) elections in September, not that it means much (or anything) to the currency investment… Today - As of 7:05 PM EDT: 9-4-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Walkingstick [via sunny, from 8-27-18] The United States Treasury, is now ready to sanction not just Iran, but also Iraq. There are 6-8 Iraqi banks under suspicion of funneling money through the auctions to Iran...So these banks that are under suspicion of funneling money through the auctions, they are being dealt with right now by the United States Treasury. You must suspend the auctions. ...The talk within the circle, of not only the CBI of Iraq, and all the private banks is that, and not only the talk, but their understanding within the CBI, and within the banks in Iraq, they will be getting an official nod of when to prepare for the reinstatement...(Part 1 of 2). 9-4-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Walkingstick [via sunny & Manaolana, 8-27-18] ...But as you know, there is a suitable environment that the FAB 4 are looking for. This was the private banks understanding that last Saturday they would reinstate. IMO, what is happening with Iran was a blind-side to the reinstatement of last Saturday, causing Alak, and Abadi, and the FAB 4 to continue the process. ...They did not act upon the reinstatement...just yet. It was quite a knee-jerk, but not yet! But IMO...due to the United States Treasury, this situation with Iran is under much better control now. ...It was a bit of a hiccup, but no longer...(Part 2 of 2). 9-4-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru David M.

But it is the Cabinet, and it is Abadi, as the Prime Minister, that is more important to the reinstatement, than is the Parliament members. Abadi, and his Cabinet is the Executive Branch. ...We also have CBI Board members. ...that is, the core of the monetary reform. That is the core of the reinstatement that we all seek, because the revaluation sits there in the global theater twiddling its thumbs, waiting for it to be reinstated. And....we continue the WAIT...!

Iran’s GDP is 439 Billion…There are 14 states in this country that have a larger GDP than the country of Iran…and now it’s tanking…Iran is looking at Iraq as a source of dollars…now this isn’t going to stop the revaluation of the Iraqi dinar. If anything, it will push it forward. Article “Iraqi official have revealed that Iran is pursuing a new strategy to supply the US dollar needs by working to reduce the Iraqi dinar exchange rate. Iran faces major difficulties in obtaining the dollar”… [If] You get out of the US dollar, you’re in trouble. [if] You also get out of the US banking system and you’re in Venezuela mode… 9-3-2018 Newshound Guru Breitling “...The Iranian strategy is to inject a large counterfeit Iraqi currency into Iraqi markets…”…So what are they doing? They are trying to shake the confidence of the Iraqi dinar so the locals in Iraq will use more US dollars so Iran can use that backdoor market …So that’s Iran’s access to US dollars. “If Iraqi can’t cope with the smuggling of fake Iraqi dinars into it’s territory this strategy will force the CBI to pump double amounts of dollars into the country’s markets to preserve the value of the local currency…” there’s another way to counter that. And that’s to add value to the Iraqi dinar…if people are using the Iraqi dinar you don’t need to change the liquidity of the dollar in the economy do you?…the only way to protect the Iraqi dinar is to add value to it……this is going to happen. This is going to revalue. You just need to be prepared… 9-3-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru David M.

9-2-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Article: “Abadi: We will not risk the interests of our people to please Iran or any other country” Lets not forget that Abadi has been looking to move the ball forward for the people and that includes the Kurds. One of the SBA agreements with the IMF is in regard to the Budget and the Kurds getting a fair share of it and with combining Baghdad and Erbil into one budget, imo. Well the SBA was/is a tool for giving investors security that is derived from the SBA with the IMF.. The IMF brings clout to the region. They held off in 2018 so far, as they were awaiting the elections and to seat the gov. Well now we know that is slated for tomorrow. ...the talk of paying the Kurds monthly and electronically suggests they have a number in mind for the budget already.. imo 9-2-2018 Newshound Guru Currency365 BREAKING: Sadr & Abadi alliance form largest parliamentary bloc after striking deal with Sunni National Axis Alliance ... 9-2-2018 Newshound Guru chattels Quote: "Sadr-Abadi bloc announces formation of Iraq’s largest parliamentary bloc" According to Iraq’s state news agency, the alliance includes 177 lawmakers from 16 different lists to unite in Iraq’s 329-seat chamber. The breakthrough came when the Sunni National Axis Alliance agreed to join the bloc. The Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) are not currently part of the bloc. If true then the bloc has 12 supporters more than needed. 9-2-2018 Newshound Gurus Bloodloch and Kathy Article: "Sadr-Abadi bloc announces formation of Iraq’s largest parliamentary bloc" Quote: "Muqtada al-Sadr’s Sayirun, Haider al-Abadi’s Nasr (Victory), and fourteen other political groups have announced the formation of the biggest parliamentary bloc capable of forming Iraq’s next government."

Witty In Iraqi election news, Maliki says he will not accept nomination to be new PM. Says he made this promise many years ago & is bound to it. 9-2-2018 Newshound Guru chattels Neither of the two main coalitions have a majority at this time. Both the Sunni and Kurds appear to be trying to leverage their support for various concessions from both coalitions. It may be weeks or months before the outcome is determined. The ultimate question /concern is whether either coalition will enable our liquidity event. We wait, watch and wonder which or whether either "winning" bloc will make a wit of difference in what we wish for. 9-2-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Article: "Central announces the sale of more than 174 million dollars through the auction" I would like to point out that the above appears to be telling us they held a special auction ...[Friday]. I am no expert on the auctions be sure. But, the pattern we have witnessed from time back...shows a clear pattern change to that of the above. First...they did one...on a holy day... Not normal behavior, from what I recall. They are in line with talking about foreign currencies... But, the above imo is excluding the USD and in fact they are not talking physical currency for the most part, as the largest portion is in the form of remittances and credits the other is in foreign currencies, i.e., electronically. Well with sanctions being imposed on Iran using the dollar, we can see they are curtailing the ability for that to happen as Abadi has been clear on the matter. However, they appear to still be buying and selling other Foreign Currencies and possibly within the local region. (Part 1 of 2) 9-2-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan As noted, they are excluding banks and financial transfer companies to sell the Dollar, thus, one might ask who gets remittances and or credits and for what purposes and in relatively large amounts? Contractors, etc.? Sure they fit, and as we know and we have been told the Auctions will cease to exist, as we have previously been used to. This surely looks to now break that pattern and apparently suggests they stopped banks and financial transfer companies from selling the Dollar.. Or more simply may just have ceased the auctions like we have been waiting for... They in recent past were using the money to boost banks balance sheets abroad.. Not the case here.... We shall see. )Part 2 of 2)

Because it puts Iraq in a position that they have to add value to their currency to participate internationally…in the end it all narrows down to energy and 90% of Iraq’s economy is based on energy. This is why Iraq is going to have to react to the market…the market IS the sanctions on Russia. The market IS the tariffs on China. The market IS the sanctions and tariffs on Iran. So those are the engine of the market.

So many say the politics don’t matter to the currency. This isn’t exactly accurate. The politics impact the economy… Iraq’s currency is, by many astute accounts, “grossly undervalued”. A basic definition of currency? It is a promissory note on the underlying economy of the country. I am assuming any governing body with say in this matter is going to refrain until the results are final and a government transition is made or is being made. Just my thinking. How is this formation coming along? There are now two main groups competing for the chance to form the next GOI…

And while there are some Iran-friendly factions, it's also hard to imagine that Najafi would throw his 14 seats their way. 8-30-2018 Newshound Guru Bloodloch With the larger 4 axis alliances of Saron (Sadr), Victory (Abadi), Wisdom (Hakim), and National (Allawi) totaling 136 seats BEFORE adding in the 2 largest Kurd alliances -- and the 2 opposing axis of Ameri and Malaki totaling 131 AFTER adding in an ALL Kurdish alliances, which is unlikely -- the Ameri and Maliki axis would still need to run the board of almost all remaining alliances to gain the 165 needed for control of government formation.

There is a reason the CBI, the Ministry of Planning, the Ministry of Finance and parliament went to the IMF and said, "Hey, we want to start raising the rate, what do we need to do? What positions do we need to be in?' And they kind of gave them a charter in order to do that. It’s very simple. They haven’t gone off the reservation on that at all... Since I’ve gotten involved in this investment or this opportunity, it has not changed at all…it’s a timing issue and it’s related to the markets… 8-29-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni In typical Iraqi fashion...I believe things are now being delayed due to the lack of formation of the government which has direct impact on currency reform, opening the banking system, inviting foreign investment. We also learn from one of our members who contacted the IMF that the Article IV Consultation has been delayed until the formation of the government. And if what we believe is correct - that nothing will occur until after that consultation it seems like we're just have to wait a few more months. And of course all the while keeping a watchful eye on the CBI currency auctions to make sure that they stay in compliance under the IMF requirements for Article VIII acceptance. 8-29-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat IS ARTICLE 140 NEEDED PRIOR TO THE RV? The news media from Iraq is now saying 140 has to be done based on news that Kurdistan has negotiated this into the election. What did this Article 140 deal mean? Does it mean that it must be “fully” implemented then prior to the RV? No! ...It did NOT say that full implementation would be accomplished right away, thus maybe not before the reinstatement and RV could happen (but maybe before since no one really knows). It did however say that “full” guarantees had to be given that the referendum on this topic, according to the constitution, would have to be drawn up and presented to parliament. A timeline would also be guaranteed. ...Also, the last part of HCL is on this list of needed laws. 8-29-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 IF I COULD GIVE YOU A TITLE FOR THE MONTH OF AUGUST I WOULD CALL IT..."GAME ON"...

The decree shall be implemented from the date of its issuance and published in the Official Gazette. 8-28-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat So today [Monday] we are told that Iraq is supposed to announce the largest bloc and give their line-up of candidates for the needed govt positions. I suspect if they don’t get these votes committed from the KRG to the Sadrist Movement soon this may stall the announcement and they may even go right up to September before they make it. We wait and see how it plays out. 8-28-2018 Intel Guru ADMINBILL So here we are after another weekend with high expectations once again with no RV. Next stop, Labor Day Weekend? Let's see what develops today and through the week...There is absolutely no reason to be down in the dumps...! 8-28-2018 Newshound Guru Breitling We alway get this question, “One day it’s going to revalue in Iraq and all these Iraqis are going to be instant millionaires…” Its’ doesn’t work that way…what happens is that you and I used the US dollar to purchase the currency…at a tenth of a penny. The Iraqi’s were given that currency. So the market inside Iraq reflects that tenth of a penny. In other words if you go down to buy a coke or candy bar…it’s based on an economy based on a tenth of a penny. What do you thinks going to happen when the value of the Iraqi dinar goes up to a buck? 8-28-2018 Newshound Guru Breitling ...Do you think the coke and the candy bar are gong to stay at a tenth of a penny? Yeah, then they would be millionaires inside of Iraq. But it’s not. The coke and the candy bar are now going to be worth a US dollar. So they don’t gain like you and I gain. We bet with the US dollar and they did not…Price of real estate, prices of goods and services, the labor force, everything will follow the value. For some reason people confuse that. You and I bought at a tenth of a penny out of a US dollar. So that is where we get our gains... 8-28-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni The media in Iraq is reporting an increase in the spread today [Monday]. Sale of dollar is 1220 to $1 and purchase of dollars is 1210 to $1. It looks like the CBI has fallen out of IMF compliance. Continue to monitor. [Side Note: The latest CBI reported market rate can always be found on the left side of this page...the last CBI update shows the market rate of 1207 as of 8-28-2018...this is within the 2% rule.] 8-28-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru BGG Where are we with this investment? It’s something I get asked all the time. So many have been wrong – me included. Here are some thoughts on the current situation that may help some folks. So many say the politics don’t matter to the currency. This isn’t exactly accurate. The politics impact the economy… Iraq’s currency is, by many astute accounts, “grossly undervalued”. A basic definition of currency? It is a promissory note on the underlying economy of the country. 8-28-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru BGG I am assuming any governing body with say in this matter is going to refrain until the results are final and a government transition is made or is being made. Just my thinking....Short story: I am very encouraged with what we are seeing in the news right now. It’s no guarantee of anything right away – but it looks like some big moves being in the right direction.

[Guru] Deltas response is accurate, due.. to the fact, the 2% compliance can easily spiral out of control... due to the CBI's continued use of the auction, as a tool/ their limitation of use of the tools available, that can be utilized to reel in or maintain the +/- 2% compliance...

They still have to complete a massive re-education campaign for the citizens and this has not yet begun. In fact, they could not even give me a target date yet for it. ...We must first wait for this ongoing election sage to settle down. 8-27-2018 Newshound Guru Bloodloch Keeping Score: The four alliances attending meeting -- Saron (Sadr), Victory (Abadi), Wisdom (Hakim), and National (Allawi) -- total 136 seats in the new parliament. The hosting alliance -- Kurdistan Democratic Party (Barzani) -- has 25 seats in their pocket, for a total of 161 seats should these five alliances join forces. Only 4 more seats needed to win, from either of the two remaining big blocs -- Decision Alliance (Sunni - 14 seats) or Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK - 18 seats) -- or some combination of other small 1 to 6 seat alliances floating around. 8-27-2018 Newshound Guru Bloodloch Left out of the mix and likely out of any significant decision-making authority in the formation of the new government -- Conquest Alliance (Iranian Proxy al-Ameri - 48 seats) and State of Law (former Prime Minister Maliki - 25 seats) 8-27-2018 Guest Guru BobTheTaxMan We have people sending in inquiries about 988…I’ve researched that heavily. IRS Code 988. It really boils down to simplicity of things ok? First of all 988 covers a multiple of things. The only way it can be interpreted the way to serve capital gains is incidental…As long as you’re holding dinar as a investment you do not have a set time that you are going to evaluate the value of it. You don’t. You’re hanging onto it. Therefore it will not be considered capital gains because you do not have a purchase date, start date, end date. It is strictly ordinary income. {IMPORTANT NOTE: Anything you read here is for informational purposes ONLY and not financial advice. At the appropriate time speak to 6 financial and tax advisers and select the ones you feel are the best fit for your situation.} 8-27-2018 Guest Guru BobTheTaxMan ...988 when they talk about any kind of capital gains…it is in reference to an incidental for travel for the most part or if there is a bank transaction…and there’s a little bit of currency exchange at that point in time. It’s still a fixed date in time and that does have some kind of implement to capital gains. But NOT over $200. It’s not something that’s for us as holding the money, investors that this is going to be applicable to. It does not matter. So anyone who brings up 988…don’t pay any attention to it. It doesn’t make any difference. It’s already been tested and gone over for years now... {IMPORTANT NOTE: Anything you read here is for informational purposes ONLY and not financial advice.

It has to do with people who are specifically in the FOREX trading world...You bought something and you’re going ot sell it. That’s the whole purpose, welcome to the world of FOREX…One of the things that it does offer is 60% of the gain will be treated as long term capital gains and 40% will be treated as short term…also known as ordinary income. That is what’s so attractive to it. BUT you actually have to be in the FOREX trading world in order for that to be applicable to you. It’s not applicable. Are these the only options available? Yep, pretty much…Quite frankly I don’t want to get involved with the IRS and have them breathing down my neck and neither do you. Let’s just stick to the rules…there are other way to go about this to make it non-taxable... {IMPORTANT NOTE: Anything you read here is for informational purposes ONLY and not financial advice.

This is similar to what was done in 2013. None of the numbers in the media are official but the CBI does have to provide a sworn quarterly report that includes daily market rates to the IMF so they will eventually know. Starting over to meet compliance is something none of us want to see but may be a reality…The 2% spread is calculated by the IMF using the following formula Official Rate + commissions x .02 = 1214 or less. There are numerous IMF documents over the years that report the spread that can be used to determine this formula… 8-27-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni Still no consensus by the political parties on the largest Bloc to despite advertising in the media that they would have it done... I believe they're still about 30 seats short.

RON 8-26-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni The truth is the CBI will float the currency and allow it to appreciate gradually as investment comes into the country. Once they make that decision it could take 6 months to a year to get to a level that we are all excited about. We have documented this for years... 8-26-2018 Newshound Guru Currency365 "The Iraqi Islamic Party announced Saturday its support for the nomination of Haider al-Abadi for a second term at the head of the next government." ...looks like @HaiderAlAbadi got an endorsement... 8-26-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru BGG Article: "After Abadi, Maliki and Fayyad, Maasoum met with Amiri on the largest bloc" The only thing you can be certain of, from this article – is that everyone is meeting with everyone in Iraq. Massoum met with Abadi…then with Ameri…then with Faleh al-Fayadh (national security advisor to Abadi)…and at some point he met with Maliki…None of which means all that much. Massoum mainly has a direct hand in the timeline. He establishes the first meeting of Parliament which is a marker for the formation of the new GOI. The most curious wording was that Abadi’s main thrust was just to get it moving. He and Sadr seem confident they have the biggest bloc – else why push for this quick formation?

Not Much Today Folks...! 8-25-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni The truth is the CBI will float the currency and allow it to appreciate gradually as investment comes into the country. [When please?] I expected [expect it?] yet this year. 8-25-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru MntGoat Article quote: "The Iranian strategy is to inject a large, counterfeit Iraqi currency into Iraqi markets and push for increased demand for the US dollar by local traders." Why is this so important to us and the RV? ...BECAUSE THIS WILL INCREASE THE DEMAND FOR THE US DOLLAR, THUS DRIVE DOWN THE RATE OF THE DINAR...This will bring Iraq into non-compliance by the IMF for the MCP practices. I told everyone that these new sanctions were going to cause havoc in Iraq and will be the next reason to stall the RV...The answer to the problem? Reinstate the dinar, get off the peg to the dollar and re-peg to the SDR basket of currencies. Use the dinar to conduct business. Issue the new lower category notes thus redenominate. Outlaw the use of the dollar in Iraq. 8-25-2018 Newshound Guru Breitling …This is a no risk zone…people are saying that, “oh my god it’s at a tenth of a penny it must be high risk currency or there’s something wrong.” No. There’s nothing wrong. They [CBI/Iraq] are using it [dinar] like they need to use it. The question is for you and me is, Is there a window when they start adding value to it? And how and why? And that’s what we’re following…People are stuck on a tenth of a penny and somehow that rate makes it a risk. That’s not a risk for you and me. That’s a huge advantage…We’re using the US dollar to get that currency… 8-25-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana [Q? : Do you think the IMF has to give the nod to an RV?] Of course - the IMF isn't going to hold them back when they choose to RV. We've seen the IMF stay very silent on Iraq once the restrictions were lifted several years ago. If the IMF was going to try to block anything, they would be very outspoken about it and we'd all know it was time to pack our bags and find another subject to keep our interest... that is not the case.

And floating the currency is what countries do. Most of the world's currencies already float. Floating the currency not only gives the CBI a mechanism to raise the exchange rate gradually based on supply and demand but gives them a tool to counter inflationary pressure created by large influxes of capital which we expect to come in as the country rebuilds. Any other solution...such as an RV or RI is utter nonsense and not practical or reasonable...Countries do not do these things. 8-22-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat UPDATE ON THE ONGOING ELECTION SAGA... Article quote: "A statement issued by Hadi al-Amri, the Fatah alliance, announced on Monday that the announcement of the largest bloc, due to be announced today, was postponed." So we know the announcements were not made on Monday as planned. So what happened? Seems that three of the Kurdistan parties wanted to pullout of the Sadr Alliance to form the largest block... They wanted guarantees on 5 points in order to join the Sadr Alliance: 1. application of Article 140...but article 140 is not required. Really? ...if this is needed to form the govt (as we now see it is...) and to form the govt is needed to RV then Article 140 is needed to get the RV. 2. the legislation of the law of oil and gas...Yes, a form of the oil and gas has been made into a agreement but the final version has NEVER been passed into law by parliament. 8-22-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat 3. modify the share of the province of the federal budget (wants 17%) ...this was reduced down to 13% due to the oil that Kuridstan was selling beyond the GOI budgetary requirements. So they reduced the amount accordingly. ...Now Kurdistan wants it back. 4. general census of the population...They have not done census for years and need to update it...they will need to figure out who is who if they are going to award any surplus oil revenues to them. 5. asserting that all these points be "put forward with one basket”. Remember these 5 points we already heard about over a month ago...So this is now being worked out. This is an explanation of the delay. 8-22-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...How long will it take. At a minimum they hope to get this all resolved way before Aug 28th when they earlier announced already a plan to hold the first session of the new parliament. So are the election results ratified already? YES, YES and YES again. ...Now they still fight for control over the largest block. This is all we are waiting for – what party has control and majority. So we need this first session of parliament to occur and to get these new members sworn in, a new speaker and a new president and his deputies. Then we can safely say that the RV clock can begin ticking once again. According to Iraq's constitution, parliament's first session must be held within 15 days from the date of the ratification 8/19 of the general election results. 8-22-2018 Intel Guru Bruce [via Pinkroses] We are really in the best place we have every been for this to go down now. When it comes to the Intel side ...the number of sources that are able to speak is being reduced because people are under NDAs that weren’t before or a gag order or just plain were told to go dark or go quiet. ...Fortunately we have enough sources in some of the other areas that are coming through so that we are able to sort of see what is happening...and where we are in the process. ...We know it is going to be a very good rate coming out and then it is going to go up... 8-22-2018 Intel Guru Bruce It may only take 2 to 3 trading sessions before it going to hit...the kind of numbers Shabi mentioned years ago back in 2012...6 years ago Shabi talked about the value of the Dinar able to sustain $16...I am telling you what I am hearing makes that look very possible. ...I know the rate on the Dong is also good, better than we thought it was going to be...I want to clarify once and for all...THERE ARE NO ZEROS COMING OFF ANY CURRENCY...

This time around. . . told of small notes and metals. . . metals and lower denom’s will co-exist together...2% is alive and happening! 8-22-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni ...there are a lot of new factors now in play because the recent sanctions on Iran have caused Iraq's spread to rise just above 2% which technically maybe out of compliance and would require them then to start over with another 90 days once back in compliance. Personally I do not understand why the CBI is waiting now that they have met the 90-day window of compliance back in June. Waiting just puts them at risk which is silly. If they are waiting for the formation of the government then they're probably waiting for the IMF consultation as well so we're really on hold here through the end of the year... [Side NOTE: The latest CBI reported market rate is always listed on the left of this page...the last CBI market rate for the dinar was 1208 reported on 8-20-2018.

I have said in the past that I believe that consultation must occur prior to Iraq moving to Article VIII it's not a requirement but it would be a good review of the banking system and encouragement. If I am correct and the CBI is going to wait until that consultation occurs then we have a few more months to wait. Though technically the CBI could write the letter to the IMF at any moment and request Article VIII acceptance. And if they are in compliance the IMF would would agree. 8-21-2018 Newshound Guru Currency365‏ Maybe Tuesday they will officially announce in public the largest Bloc...Also Abadi, Sadr, Hakim, Allawi, & Kurds form a new alliance against al-Malik...So MALIKI IS OUT!!!

It was a well-orchestrated stalling tactic that almost back-fired on them. But now it appears it is coming to an end as they move ahead. Did they have a target date? No, as I said before it is not about a target date for the RV. ...But what did happen is they needed to get the corruption under control and weed out or neutralize those involved. They are moving ahead again since they feel this is now accomplished. ...We still have to hear from the CBI since this is the entity that will trigger the reinstatement... I am focused on the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI). The CBI has recently told me there will be a massive re-education campaign to educate the people. They said to look at the billboards and TV but mostly the news media articles coming forth in the very near future. Yes, I think we are still looking at some timeframe maybe in September and certainly not before.

These are as of (5:20PM EDT) 8-20-2018 *** FLASH: Dinar Update *** The Iraqi Federal Court have finally ratified the May 12th election results! Since there was no majority winner, the gurus expect that we will see the forming of alliances between blocks to form the "largest block". Sadr (the winning block) and Abadi (current PM and head of the 3rd place block) have wasted no time and announced their alliance already. The apposing alliance is led by former PM Maliki. The newly elected parliament will meet shortly to begin their bartering process to name the next president. Stay tuned as the news floods in... 8-20-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni Well unoffically the CBI seems to have fallen out of compliance now with the spread at 1215 to $1. What that means more than likely is they will have to get back in compliance and hold it for another 90 days. So unfortunately it doesn't look like the Central Bank of Iraq will be moving to Article VIII anytime soon. I'm not officially writing off the Central Bank of Iraq yet going to give it a day or two to make sure they are in or out of compliance. Because these numbers are not official if tomorrow's numbers are lower they could be back in compliance. On another note it looks like the government is moving forward with the largest bloc being formed and announced. 8-20-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 It has been reported that today on Iraqi TV Prime Minister Abadi has been calling for the government of Iraq to form immediately. Iraqi TV is reporting first meeting of Parliament will be on the 28th after the Eid holiday. Quote: "Abdullah Alawi, adviser to President Fuad Masum, said on Sunday that the latter will follow the Eid holiday to invite the new parliament to convene, while referring to the expectations that the first session on 28 of this month." 8-20-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat "...the judiciary announced that they completed ratification of the names of the winners of the last parliamentary elections. On Monday, Aug 20th, was quoted, the names of the winners of the elections in the Federal Court will be approved and announced." So this week should be exciting for us but not RV exciting. The question now still remains - What will the CBI now do since the election saga is just about over? I am told they will progress forward with the “project to delete the zeros” once again. We can do nothing but take a deep breath, relax and wait and see how the CBI reacts. 8-20-2018 Newshound Guru Currency365 "The Iraqi Federal Court also approved Today the manual recount of the disputed votes cast during the parliamentary election, while previous Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki met with US Special Presidential Envoy Brett McGurk on Sunday." ...Iraq will announce the largest bloc in the coming hours!!!

Agreed US troops will stay in Iraq to ensure security and become trainers!... 8-19-2018 Newshound Guru chattels Article: "Central Bank: adopt a mechanism to prevent rising from $ 100 thousand dinars Al121" Quote: "... the Central Bank of Iraq several measures and mechanisms adopted in order to maintain the stability of the dollar exchange rate against the Iraqi dinar at 121 thousand dinars for each $ 100." The foregoing article is interesting in that it confirms the intentionality of the CBI regarding maintaining a stability range on the value of the dinar relative to the dollar. 8-19-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana [..if, (big IF) the election results become official by the end of next week (after holiday) how long would you speculate that it would take to seat the new parliament and start conducting business? I realize this is Iraq and anything or nothing may happen SOON.] We're looking at about a 30 day cycle right now, IMO 8-19-2018 Newshound Guru Don961 Article: “An economist reveals the bank's printing of large amounts of currency with small categories to replace them with damage” ...from previous articles ... this will also help get more of the existing 3 zeroes out from under those mattresses ... and replace them with these smaller denominations ... because as other articles showed from the CBI ... these lower denom notes will be pushed ... in the marketplace ... and in the banks .. which will also get citizens enured to using smaller notes ... and make the transition to the RI lower denoms much more realistic psychologically ... another step...imo

Hi all, it's been a while since I was online last. Here's some recent Guru Noise to stir things up a bit...! Blessings, RON 8-18-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article quote: "Observers told The Baghdad Post that a number of Iraqi banks and foreign exchange companies have begun to send U.S. dollars to Iran." ...the banks and exchanges get the US dollars by going to the CBI currency auctions. Quote: "...THEY CALLED ON THE IRAQI GOVERNMENT TO TAKE SERIOUS ACTIONS TO STOP THE IRANIAN PLAN THAT AIM TO STEAL IRAQ'S WEALTH OF HARD CURRENCY..." ...the ONLY way they can do this is to stop the currency auctions and reinstate the dinar. If the CBI had done this years ago this would all have been sorted out by now and the Iraqi dinar would be like any other middle eastern currency. So these problems that are going to get much worst are going to come from the delay in the reinstatement of the dinar by the CBI and IMF. What the hell are they waiting for? ...Thus stop the currency auctions and reinstate the dinar with some real value. 8-18-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru tman23
